Bush Clinton Fatigue
Pollster John McLaughlin – who’s a smart guy for a Republican – has an interesting theory about the 2008 presidential race. He calls it Bush-Clinton fatigue. After 20 years of Bush-Clinton-Bush; John thinks, Americans need a break.
If true, that is Hillary Clinton’s biggest obstacle to the White House. And a boost for Edwards, Obama and Giuliani. (Not McCain; I suspect we’re all getting tired of him, too.)
Obama especially seems sensitive to this feeling. His talk about new politics plays off not only Bush and
We Boomers split in the 60s and 70s. On one side, with some exaggeration, were radical hippies and war protesters (Bill and Hillary). On the other side, with some exaggeration, were right-wing preps and suits (W).
Our parents have been sick of us for 40 years. Now our kids and grandkids are sick of us. Hell, we’re getting sick of us.
Maybe a change would be good for us all.
